In the context of unjustified enrichment, the requirement that the enrichment must have been sine causa (without legal cause) is fundamental. This principle ensures that a party who receives a benefit without a justifiable reason can be compelled to  return it. Various case law illustrates how South African courts have interpreted this requirement.

1. Govender v Standard Bank
This case is a pivotal authority in distinguishing between the condictio indebiti and condictio sine causa specialis. The court held that:  A bank paying a cheque does not owe a debt to the payee; rather, the drawer of the cheque is the party liable. Since the payment was made after the cheque had been countermanded, the bank’s payment was made without a legal cause. The condictio indebiti was inapplicable because the payment was not made under a
mistaken belief that a debt was due. Instead, the payment fell within the condictio sine causa, as the bank’s funds ended up with the payee without a justifiable cause¹….
